Telecom giant Airtel has launched a host of top-up recharge plans for its prepaid subscribers starting as low as Rs 25. Airtel has launched six new smart recharge plans, costing Rs 25, Rs 35, Rs 65, Rs 95, Rs 145 and Rs 245, something on the lines of what rival Vodafone Idea Limited announced a couple of days ago. Each smart recharge plan from Airtel offers something unique, and comes with a minimum validity of 28 days.

Airtel’s new smart recharge plans seems to have been launched in only select circles. The plans are reportedly available in only Chennai for now but circles such as Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana may get them soon enough. This means, subscribers in Chennai, will be only able to avail the plans, at least for now. The plans are also reportedly available as open market ones.

Rather than focusing on data, Airtel’s new smart recharge plans focus on making voice calls affordable. The Rs 25 recharge pack offers Rs 18.69 worth of talk time and 10MB data with a validity of 28 days. The Rs 35 recharge pack offers Rs 26.6 worth of talk time, discounted voice calls at 60 paise per minute and 100MB data with a validity of 28 days. The Rs 65 recharge pack offers full talk time, discounted voice calls at 60 paise per minute and 200MB data with a validity of 28 days. The Rs 95 recharge pack offers full talk time, discounted voice calls at 30 paise per minute and 500MB data with a validity of 28 days.

The Rs 145 recharge pack offers full talk time, discounted voice calls at 30 paise per minute and 1GB data with a validity of 28 days. The Rs 245 recharge pack offers full talk time, discounted voice calls at 30 paise per minute and 2GB data with a validity of 84 days.

As mentioned earlier, Airtel’s new smart recharge plans are in line with what Vodafone Idea is also offering in select circles. Even in the case of the Vodafone Idea recharge plans, the focus is on offering affordable voice calling with similar validity ranging from 28 days to 84 days.
